2006 Big Dog Motorcycles reviews

I have only had this bike for a few months and have nothing but great things to say about it. Handles great and looks awesome. Certainly gets a lot of attention on the road. Have had no mechanical problems, but one of the reasons I went with Big Dog is their reputation and the years of experience in the business. They are not a new start up company that may not be there through your warranty. Show less

This is my second K9, so I guess it stands to reason that I more than like this bike. The looks, handling and performace are great. Crusing at speeds of 70 and 75 are not a problem for this machine. Very stable and light. Corners and turns are very easy even with a passenger. Show less

Great bike! I've owned several street bikes including Ducati's, Yamahas, Hondas, Suzuki's etc. etc. This is my first cruiser type motorcycle and I couldn't be happier. The performance is phenomenal and everywhere I go I'm asked if I had it hand built! Show less

Just picked the K9 up last week and I am more than happy with it. I won't be putting in the 600 mile days like I did on my Valkyrie, however, I am already sure the 400+ mile trip planned for the spring will be an easy ride. Should be in for the 500 mile thing after 2 more days of riding soon as the weather gives me a chance. Show less

Not a lot of miles, 5k, but all have been great! Not one problem and I find it more comfortable then any bike I have owned. The only concern is the paint. I ordered the level 9 Purgatory and it was not what I thought. The graphics do not extend to the sides of the tank which is not depicted in the photos. I wish they would offer a chrome package as well. Billet is a pain to maintain. Show less

Went to the local bike shop looking at a 2006 Mastiff and left with a 2006 K9! The Mastiff was awesome but the K9 left me breathless. The thing handles like a dirt bike. Easy to ride, incredible performance and with some pipes added, sounds tough. The design and detailing make for a beautiful bike. The service from my local BDM dealer has been phenomenal and I have no doubt BDM MFG is just as incredible. The only disappointing thing about this experience is the fact that this rating only allows me to give them an overall 5, cuz the K9 is easily a 10. Show less

I just purchased a 2007 K-9 and it is the smoothest riding cycle I've owned. I recently took a 100+ mile trip from D.C. to Pennsylvania and it was a joy - you'd appreciate the quiet 6th gear above 70+ mph. This machine felt better than my 2005 Harley V-Rod (Screamin' Eagle). My arms cramped a little toward the end of the trip but I'll take the cramp for this puppy! Acceleration is precise and cornering the fat 300 rear is just a mental thing-not as bad as critics claim by far. The K-9 is, by far, a fine cruiser and eye-candy to most. Show less

I purchased my 2006 Big Dog Chopper in May and it has been awesome!! I have approximately 1200 miles on it and no problems what so ever. Performance has been great the Baker drivetrain is unbelievably smooth. When most people think "Chopper" they think uncomfortable and poor handling. With this bike that is far from true in fact it is very comfortable and fun to ride. The furthest I have gone in one day is about a 200 mile ride. You feel as if you are part of the bike instead of just sitting on it. The first day I test drove one I was doing slow tight turns without putting a foot down. The balance of the bike with the balanced right side drive is great! Quality with fit and finish is top notch. I recently had the opportunity to look at some Thunder Mountain Cycle Customs (basically Harley Customs) and the Big Dog in my opinion is much nicer and about 10,000 cheaper. If you want something to jump on, have fun and turn heads hear you go!! Show less

I've had my K-9 for just a little over six weeks, and already put 3200 miles on. You can't do it if it's not comfortable. The ride is great and with the pillion pad and sissy bar my wife was able to go on a 300 mile, 1 day trip with me in relative comfort. The performance is more than I anticipated, the one drawback is stopping for gas. You can't get out of a station without at least a few pictures and lots of questions. Show less

Hey all...just an update, I had a big week last week riding...not that anyone cares, but took the GSXR and the BMW on a tour of the NC/TN/GA mountains...it was a gas!! Then, the highlight....I took the BIG DOG K-9 to Myrtle Beach Bike Week....road about 7 hours or so from Atlanta each way, rode everyday in the crowd.... it ran like a champ, is pretty darn comfy for a Chopper on a 7 hour drive....not even one tiny problem, and 150 miles to the tank!...**my friend rode a new IRONHORSE and he had pieces flying off everywhere!!! The k-9 was perfect...drew a crowd, lots of thumbs up.... BUY ONE! Windshield ain't too good,,,,but the bike is swweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Ride it, love it. Show less
